San Pedro, CA, Friday, March 13, 2026 — A few months after opening its doors, Warehouse 9 will take its entertainment slate to the next level this spring with a full calendar of community events, live music and seasonal celebrations at CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles, Warehouse 9, and The Alt Space. Presented by MBF Productions, the upcoming lineup brings together holiday festivities, concerts, arts programming and family-friendly, dog-friendly gatherings from mid-March through May. 


The season begins with two St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, featuring Irish-themed food, music, contests and drink specials.


On Sunday, March 15, guests can get an early start on the holiday with St. Patrick’s Day drink specials, a 2 p.m. keg tapping of Sonrisa by Common Space (limited) and a lively Irish dance performance at 1:30pm. The event is free to attend — and there’s free parking too!


The festivities continue on Tuesday, March 17, with a St. Patrick’s Day Celebration, Shamrocks and Shenanigans, featuring Irish fare from Shady Grove, including corned beef boiled dinner with mustard sauce and soda bread, grilled bangers with spicy mustard and soda bread, pastrami sandwiches, pickled eggs and colcannon, a traditional Irish potato dish.


The evening also features a full lineup of entertainment:

Later in the spring, several new music and community programs will launch.


Beginning April 17, Acoustic Fridays will feature single and duo acoustic performers from 5–9 p.m., offering a relaxed evening of live music. Admission is free with free parking, and all ages welcome. Kicking off the event is 14-year-old guitar prodigy Saxon Weiss, who will play on April 17, May 15, and June 12 from 5-9 p.m. On April 24, it's the South Bay’s Dan O’ Sullivan, a music scene staple, and on May 8, it's Mark Karmelich partnering with a cajon player for the evening.
